The appeal of the Dolomites is season-less—summer travelers looking for verdant hikes, an up-and-coming food scene, and relaxing spas will not be disappointed—but the Italian Alps come alive in the winter. The 18-peak range and surrounding areas of Veneto and Trentino make a great starting point for any number of snowy adventures. The hikes, the ski areas, and (most importantly) the après-ski areas all come with world-class mountain views.
